New Delhi: Amid the extreme heatwave in the country, online food delivery platform Zomato on Sunday requested customers to avoid ordering during peak afternoon hours unless it is necessary.
“Please avoid ordering during peak afternoon unless necessary,” Zomato wrote on X. Due to scorching heat, some states have recorded higher temperatures than in previous years, leading to problems like heatstroke.
Heatstroke-related deaths have also been reported in Bihar, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand, as well as in Delhi.
